<![CDATA[TripleA Server Costs]]>Just wanted to share and do a cost breakdown of where we stand with server costs. TL;DR, the launch of 2026-06 allows us to go from $114/month to $51/month!

Linode is our cloud provider and is essentially our monthly operating cost. Our last bill from them was $114.07

With the launch of 2026-06, we're able to start turning off servers. The 2.5 bots have now been shut down.

So, we have 5 bot servers for 2026-06 @ $5/month/server
Forum server is $12/month + $2/month for backups
Lobby is $24/month
The new marti is $5/month
Old marti is $25/month

We'll be able to turn off Old marti very soon. Bringing our expected monthly cost to: 5*$5 + $14 + $24 + $5 = $68/month

As soon as we turn off the old lobby:

  • we can reduce the lobby server SKU from $24/month to $12/month
  • we can move the new MARTI to be cohosted on the lobby server, removing the need for the MART server.

So, with $17/month more in potential reduction, we'll be at $51/month
